A high-profile murder trial in Putnam County is underway Tuesday.
Prosecutors said Tuesday that it was Wilson’s mother who turned him in to police after he admitted to her that he killed Tayten and Robert.
According to an arrest report, Wilson admitted to killing the two boys during a phone call that had been secretly recorded by investigators. Wilson said he felt the boy’s family was trying to put “stress” on his family by reporting them to the Department of Children and Family Services. It is unclear as to why the Baker family called DCF.
Prosecutors said Wilson only confessed to authorities after they played him the recording. They said he gave excuses that didn’t make sense, saying he killed the boys to protect his family and saying their family was trying to turn him into the Department of Children and Families, that he thought the boys were harming his infant daughter and that he thought girlfiend was keeping that from him — and that the boys were sleeping with his girlfriend.
The Sheriff’s Office also said Wilson told a witness he had conspired with his girlfriend to kill the boys’ family. However, she was never charged, and a family member said she had nothing to do with the planning of the murders.
